Dynamic DNS

World's largest presence of all Dynamic DNS providers

As a leading Dynamic DNS provider, Dyn allows you to choose a unique hostname (ex: MyHome.dyndns.org) and link it to any IP-compatible device (router, webcam, security camera, DVR, thermostat, computer, file storage, etc.). As the IP addresses used to access these devices change, Dyn takes care of updating it for you, ensuring you are always connected.

Using Dyn’s dynamic DNS eliminates the headache and human error associated with tracking ever-changing IP addresses and allows you to avoid the alternative of purchasing pricey static IPs.

Benefits

30 Unique Hostnames

Whether you need Dynamic DNS for a single device or multiple locations, we have you covered with the ability to create up to 30 hostnames (yourname.dyndns.org) per purchase. Need more hostnames? Just buy another package!

Rapid Propagation

When your IP address changes, you need your hostname to be updated as quickly as possible. With TTLs that can be set as low as 20 seconds, extremely fast propagation will happen as soon as your update client notifies us.

Premium Domains

Yourname.dyndns.org isn't cutting it? How about yourname.is-a-geek.com, or yourname.endoftheinternet.org? With Dynamic DNS, you get access to hundreds of premium domains, so you can find the domain that reflects your needs and personality!

4 Steps. Access Granted.

Setting up Dynamic DNS can be done in just a few steps, with no hassle and no wait. Just connect the device to your home router and allow external traffic for your router and modem. This means setting up port forwarding on your router and enabling bridge mode on your modem. Then follow our quick setup instructions below.

1. Sign Up

Sign-up for a Dyn.com account and purchase Remote Access. If you have an account or have already purchased, simply log in.

2. Add a new hostname

Once you’ve logged into the interface, navigate to "DynDNS Pro" and click "Add New Hostname” to create a new web address that will be linked to your device (ex: mycomputer@dyndns.org, webcam@dyndns.org).

3. Test your hostname

Test the hostname you created by typing it into a web browser bar outside your home network. If it loads, then you are connected properly.

4. Install the updater

Lastly, install the Dyn updater client. Some devices may already have Dyn's updater client pre-installed; for these, simply navigate to the application's DynDNS section for set-up.
